215 - Fail 

So, the good news is after last week struggling with 195 and failing at 205, I was able to get under 205 AND feel good. So I went up to 215. I failed at that weight but its a good reminder some days its just not clicking and other days it is. Hopefully, some day, I wont struggle with these same weights, but be able to know that 205 and even 215 will go up!

WOD

50 Wallballs

50 DUs 

40 BJs

40 T2B

30 C2B

30 bar burpees

20 p. clean 145#

20 push press/push jerk 145#

10 power snatch 115#

10 muscle ups

This was a long, probably too slow of a WOD. I felt ok, but just didnt move very quick. The long ones like this are deceiving. I was expecting 17-18 minuets, sub 20 for sure. BUT working out alone with no other times to compare too, I just waited around too long and rested too much. 

I even took time to grab a couple quick videos at the end of the WOD... 

Score 26:50

Saturday PM

Jeff Evans and I went on a 7.2 mile ruck with a 35# pack.

Jeff is training for another GoRuck Challenge, possibly even a Heavy and I love the chance to get out and do some rucking... and just hangout w/ Jeff. Plus, Im sure Ill end up doing another GRC.
The Heavy requires a Physical Test before it even starts. This is max push ups in 2:00, max sit ups in 2:00 and then a 12 mile ruck in sub 3 hours. If uyou dont pass that, you cant even start the Heavy!

So, anyway, we did a quick PT test then set off to get 8 laps at the Lincoln Park on MI as fast as possible. We got 8 laps, 7.2 miles in exactly 1:40. Felt good too!
I only managed 62 push ups, which is passing, but not as many as I'd like to get. I go 52 sit up, which were way harder than expected. You cant rest, at all, on the ground and must keep your hands locked behind your head at all times. Painful!
